“SeaFirst Insurance has been the insurer of Driftwood's assets and liability since our opening day of operation in 2008. They have been able to customize, adapt and structure our growing needs into a comprehensive plan that is far superior in value and relevance to our unique needs than anything else presented to us.”

“SeaFirst Insurance dealt with an emergency flood situation whilst we were out of the country and were unreachable! They acted immediately when a neighbour called them to inform (them) about the flood, sending a service tech team out that same night. SeaFirst's repair and restoration team were instructed, coordinated, highly skilled, fast workers and absolutely amazing in every way possible.”
— Michelle Hall, Cedarwood Cove

Responses are always immediate and thorough. We would recommend SeaFirst, without reservation, to anyone considering their services.”
— Christine Bowles, JEA
